Synopsis

“God uses flawed people to accomplish His purpose.” —Derek Thomas It isn’t hard for Christians to identify with the Apostle Peter. As he sought to follow after Jesus, his life was punctuated by bold moments and momentous blunders alike. Yet in spite of Peter’s sins, he was the Apostle who confessed the Christ, to which Jesus replied, “On this rock I will build my church” (Matt. 16:16, 18). The Lord would use this vessel of clay to bring the hope of the gospel to the world. In this book, Dr. Derek Thomas offers an encouraging portrait of Peter from the Gospels and the book of Acts, with insights from Peter’s own writings later in life. At every stroke, our eyes are drawn beyond the disciple to his gracious Master, who fashions stumbling believers into stalwarts of faith.

Goodreads review by Matt

This book is a great book to read if you or your Church are doing a character study on Peter. It covers Peters life from before he was a disciple to being an elder in the Jerusalem church. It contains a heap of 1st century Judaism stuff that helps the bible come alive.......more
